[hondarider550]

That is a beautiful shot Dbl!! I just love the lights reflecting on the water type of shots...

[hondarider550]

Well here is my try at this challenge. I am still working on my morning coffee but here is my night shot photo...

We were traveling home the other night when the wind and snow was blowing around about 1/4 mile from our home... Notice the grain bins on the right?...

Let me know what you think...

[eyeguy 54]

Looks BRRRRRRRRRRRRR out there!

[hondarider550]

It was brrrrrrr... thats why I took the picture from INSIDE the pickup... LOL. I also had to bust through that drift to get home after I took the shot... Good thing that I had a Ford!!

[hondarider550]

I must have chased everybody away with that picture... No posts for 2 days has me concerned... Sorry... lol

[DonBo]

My turn.

[DeeDee]

DonBo, I really like that one. Can almost smell the coffee beans

OK - my turn! We have been traveling for the past 3 weeks or so and our morning coffee is generally in a travel mug or styrofoam cup! Right now we are staying in Harlingen, Texas, and this morning we made an early trip to the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. This is a great birding area - but this morning we were treated to javelina's having breakfast with the grackles, blackbirds and green jays. We've seen so many new birds - I'll try to post a few shots in the birding forum over the weekend.

This is my first time shooting the moon. The moon isn’t full till tomorrow night but didn’t think I would get the shot with the weather rolling in later tonight. I had to wait about a half hour for the clouds to open up enough to get the shot I wanted. Thought it would be neat to post it here and possibly get some bonus points in my college astronomy class.

[Mforce]

WOW!

[Dbl]

Nice work here by all!

[eyeguy541432404961]

Yes indeed, nice shots all.

[fishinchicks]

Ahh, morning espresso!

[eyeguy541432404961]

Now that looks tastey!!

[Dbl]

I like it!

[polarsusd81]

I got a good one tonight, I will post it up in the morning. The suspense builds.

[polarsusd81]

Here it is. I will call it "Snow on Southview Blvd."

Have to post larger scale to show some of the subtleties.

I didn't have the tripod with, so I used some t-shirts to prop the camera on the hood of my car.

Rebel XT, ISO 800, 50mm, F/10, 2 Sec. Long exp. noise reduction on, shot in B/W with digital green filter.

[fishinchicks]

I like it. It has an old movie kind of feel.

[Dbl]

I like the BW treatment on this, it just fits.

[eyeguy541432404961]

Dandy! I like how crisp it feels.

[hondarider550]

That is a great picture polarusd81!!! I love how sharp the lines are and how the subject just tells the story of a stormy night in the city... Fantastic...

Makes me wish I could take pictures half that nice...

[mmeyer]

Those are great Guys. Fishinchicks, I really love the colors on your image. It's very nice.

Tom, that is really beautiful. Nicely done!
